A team of military lawyers recruited to defend alleged terrorists held by the US at Guantanamo Bay was dismissed by the Pentagon after some of its members rebelled against the unfair way the trials have been designed, the Guardian has learned.
And some members of the new legal defence team remain deeply unhappy with the trials - known as "military commissions" - believing them to be slanted towards the prosecution and an affront to modern US military justice.
What they didn't like included the rule that the government gets to listen in on conversations between the lawyer and client. Hmmm...why would that bother them? Read the rest.
You can have a lawyer, but that lawyer has to rubber stamp the DoJ agenda.
Lawyers just for show. Like everything about this administration.
USA, Banana Republic.
....but hey, do what you want....you will anyway.
